5/11/14A little over
forty years ago I was at the station in Ogden with my parents and a
few friends just before I boarded the train leaving for my first
mission. My mother kissed me goodbye, and as she did so said, "My
boy, come home clean." I have never forgotten that injunction and I
hope when I am released from this earthly mission and return to that
heavenly home where my angel mother now is I can say, as I can say
today, "Mother, I have come home clean.” - Thomas
